However, Captain America ends up frozen in suspended animation and reawakened in the modern day at the end of The First Avenger, meaning Peggy is no longer the fit young girl he fell in love with.

Smaller part: Hayley only features briefly in the Marvel sequel

Spin off: Hayley is set to star in a TV series based on the events of Peggy Carter after Captain America is presumed dead in the 1940s

Atwell reprised her role as Carter in the Marvel One Shot film Agent Carter, which was released with the Iron Man 3 Blu-ray disc, and follows the events one year after Captain America: The First Avenger.

The actress also said she was willing to star in a TV spin-off centred on Peggy, which has been given the green light by ABC, who confirmed that Reaper creators Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas will be showrunners, and that Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely will write the show's pilot.

On Thursday night she was reunited with her former cast members Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson and Sebastian Stan.
